ABSTRACT:
A surgical apparatus includes a needle having an outer surface and an anchor bar disposed in sliding engagement with the needle. A suture has a first end attached to the anchor bar and a second end extending laterally of the anchor bar and outwardly of the needle. A pusher is movable coaxially of the needle to engage the anchor bar and to separate the anchor bar from the needle to form an anchor relative to a body wall. The anchor bar may have an outer surface with an inclined relationship to its longitudinal axis in order to facilitate axial insertion of the anchor bar through the body wall. An associated method for anchoring a pair of body walls includes the step of attaching a bolster to the second end of the suture and separating the anchor bar from the needle with the anchor bar and the first end of the suture disposed on one side of the body wall and the second end of the suture disposed on the other side of the body wall.
